About this story
You go after her alone in a boat rowed by a sea-robber named Puny Fox, who refuses to name his price until you are past turning back, through a hidden cave to the Isle of Ransom. She reaches you once, in a dream, pointing toward a place called the Glittering Plain.
How it opens
You shaped an ash spear outside the House of the Raven while your wedding day approached.
At Midsummer, the Hostage of the Rose was to wed you into the House of the Raven.
Wayworn ElderTell us this is the Glittering Plain, where sorrow and age can be left behind.
Rest your horses and share our food, but I cannot give this home a false name.
Wayworn ElderThen our dwindling days permit no rest here.

Ask where they heard of the undying land before they ride on.
Let them go and finish the wedding spear.
Repeat the offer of food and rest without calling this the land they seek.
